[squid-users] Sudden error (1067) when starting squid service W2K3

I've encountered this strange error situation and would appreciate any
attempts to shed light on the issue.

I've got a squid service running on Windows Server 2003 (this squid
service has been running since October 2008) and just the other day
(after a power cut) the service will no longer start.

The error number when trying to start the service is 1067.

The error in squid.exe.log is: 2011/05/25 13:12:28| parseConfigFile:
squid.conf:1 unrecognized: ''" (There is a tall rectangle character
in those quotes).

The last successful and the first unsuccessful entries from cache.log are:

Squid Cache (Version 2.7.STABLE4): Terminated abnormally.

I've tried reverting to an earlier config file, building a new config
file, forcing encoding to ANSI, tried different line endings.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the service.

I've tried replacing the squid directory.

I've tried replacing and rebuilding the cache directory (it also kicks
up an error about that character on the first line of the conf file).

I've tried disabling socket pooling for IIS.

Anything else I should try?
